Miners always were "the bitches" that work for users. We just pay them for their work.
Disclaimer: I was a miner too, but long time ago in 2012-2014...
But this is a very interesting question and I call @jimmysong to give us a better technical explanation about this. I think he's the best one to answer this.

I personally reason as so.
Bitcoins are created in the coinbase transaction, so whoever creates this transaction, creates the bitcoin.
The way miners work today, how could someone trying doubleSHA256 even create bitcoins that make no sense.
Bitcoins have to be created by a node, however, this would have to be a mining node.
Do you lads agree?
